Amarillo, TX

We've crossed back into Central Time!  We'll be home soon.  Today, we drove as far as Amarillo, Texas.

Just before you get to town is a line of ten junker Cadillacs buried nose-down in a field along I-40.  These were placed here by a group of art-hippies in 1974.  People would stop along the highway, walk out to view the cars--then deface them or rip off pieces as souvenirs.  Over the years this behavior has evolved to the point that you are now encouraged to spray paint them.  Unfortunately, I did not have any paint with me, or I would have left my mark too, even though it would be painted over in no time.

 Some people get a little carried away with the paint.  There is a fence and a gate that are all painted up, as well as this garbage dumpster.

You're Not Supposed to Paint the Dumpster!!!

I met a lady there grumbling about her co-workers who always drag her to these "largest ball of twine" places.  I laughed and told her I live in Minnesota and only 10 miles away from the "largest ball of twine".  It was funny.  It was.  We laughed.
